You are goblins of the Licktoad Tribe! Or at least you will be someday ...
For now though, you’re whelps — ravenous, amoral, grumpy goblin children who learned to stop eating rocks only a few months ago. But with every day that passes, your whelping cage seems smaller and smaller. The outside world increasingly beckons to your goblin curiosity (and appetite), but the hateful cage bars hold you at bay.
A few other whelps flourish in the cage, even as the smaller and weaker ones are thinned out. Kettlehead stands literally head and shoulders above the competition, being a goblin of impeccable flatulence and having already fashioned himself an impressive hat from a teapot left lying too close to the cages. Even adult goblins — legendary Chief Rendwattle Gutwad among them — have taken note of Kettlehead and his advanced skills of poking the rest of you with sticks and delivering bruise-inducing noogies.
But today is special. Today, instead of a bucket of fish heads, whelp-wrangler Pebbletop brought a key and unlocked the door to your cage, spilling you sorry lot into the world for the first time.
Other Licktoads gather around, eyeballing you and chewing on the fish heads that should have been yours.
“You all too big for cage,” Pebbletop snorts.
“But you not Licktoads yet. Licktoads be useful. Licktoads be tough! Licktoads earn their places in tribe. And you do that now! Show where you belong, even if that ends being dumped on Junk Beach!”
Allowing time for goblin-style introductions and horse gob-dog play, then we can start pushing forward.

Poog will laugh at what is going on in the cage.

Reta B.B. |

Reta chews on the bars of the cage up into the point she is released. "Then why you licktoad if you not useful" Reta says trying to insulting the whelp wrangler.

“You got me, Big Head.”
Pebbletop pulls a hunk of wax out of her ear with a sharp talon and applies the natural product to enhance the lustre of her top-knot. “Me be more useful to tribe if me let Mogmurch set fire to you hair, like you dids want.”
“‘Cos fire pretty as Chief Gutward jiggly bits when he do exer-size,’ 'ccordin to YOU.”
The whelp wrangler shakes her head. “Woulda raised av-rage smarts of Licktoad Tribe plenny.”

Every goblin tribe has unique traditions to mark whelps’ coming of age and to determine their roles in the clan. The Licktoads borrow a tradition used by nearby humans and force their young to earn a variety of so-called “badges” by succeeding at arbitrary and cruel tasks. More than simple patches, Licktoad badges are unique magic items, crafted largely through accident and goblin stubbornness, which grant accident-prone whelps a few second chances at survival.
Like potions, Licktoad badges can be used by anyone (although a full-grown goblin caught using one is rightfully shamed for playing with “baby toys”). A goblin can activate a Licktoad badge as an immediate action, usually in responseto some danger or special condition. If a Licktoad badge isn’t used within one week, its magic fades and it transforms into a useless scrap of cloth. Once a Licktoad badge is used, its magic fades forever.
Whelp-wrangler Pebbletop lines the four of you and a handful of other goblin whelps up for your assessment, excusing Kettlehead because of his obvious superiority and remarkable headgear.
“You better no stab me with stick, Chuffy.”
A large crowd of grinning Goblins come over to spectate -- all carrying mud pies, their favorite bit of refuse and over-ripe fruits and vegetables.
"We see how you go with being bestest Animal Friendship," cries Pebbletop with a malicious grin as she holds forth a leash expectantly.
You may prove your mastery over dangerous creatures by tying a leash to a particularly large spider -- of course the spider might well have some other ideas on the issue. The choice to do so is 'voluntary', but not trying/amusing your fellow Goblins may have CONSEQUENCES.
Wrangling the head-sized scarlet spider requires a DC 9 combat maneuver check, followed by a DC 12 Dexterity check to tie a secure knot.

Chuffy stops. Spidey feels bad about all the touching and moves into the corner and sulks.
Until Mogmurch kicks it in the air, catches it in his teeth and secures it by manipulating the twine with his toes!
Many Goblins guffaw at this, “Har har.”
Including Wrangler Pebbletop. “Mog the Slob, Poog the Pig and Reta, Reta, Toenail-Eater get shiny Animal Fiendship badge!”
Licktoad Badge Benefit: Following a successful attack roll against a creature of the animal type, the user of this Licktoad badge increases her damage from that attack by +1d6 points. This extra damage is not doubled on a critical hit.
The user can decide to activate this badge after rolling the regular damage for the attack.
"That a good show! But now we want BETTERER show! Nothing funnier than injured Gobs!”
The whelps must injure themselves in creative ways for the tribe’s amusement.
Each whelp’s attempt deals 1d3 points of nonlethal damage to him/herself (especially creative injuries deal an additional 1 or 2 points of damage).
The whelp can make the injury entertaining with a successful DC 15 Bluff or Charisma check, gaining a circumstance bonus to this check equal to the amount of nonlethal damage sustained.
Whelps can retry this challenge so long as they remain conscious.

Mogmurch smirks at Chuffy's juggling. "That not how do it!" he yells excitedly. "This how do Happy Beat!" He pulls his ears and ties them over his head, then bends his thumbs extra far backwards before twisting his head as far away from his rapidly-approaching fingers! Which will win - the head or the thumbs? The suspension is breathtaking as the whelp's neck contorts almost as badly as his fingers! At last, the thumbs win, poking into his eyes with their abnormal backwards bendingness!
Nonlethal damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Charisma: 1d20 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) - 1 + 2 + 2 = 11 (Mogmurch's special talent gives him a bonus on this challenge)

Pebbletop laughs like an open drain at the whelps’ zaniness. “Chuffy fishily stoned! Me dig!”
The spectators cannot contain their glee at Mogmurch the Contortionist. “He twisted little freak, even for gob whelp!”
Reta puts on a cracking show (her head and the wall) but the crowd wants more ...
“Run faster at wall!”
“Get Mogz to chuck you at wall!”
“Instead mud, fill bucket wit gob spit. Here me helpz …”

Mogmurch thinks a minute as he unties his ears. ”Me show you good beat, much happy!” he exclaims as an idea comes to him. Clambering up to a nearby ledge, he cannonballs off on the stone floor... and bounces!

he tries to find the most disgusting scraps of old meat, the barely edible mosses, the slightly corrupted mushrooms… and swallows the whole thing.

Of course, his stomach is soon rumbling and gives him obvious pain, and he has to throw up

“We move dis along, ‘fore some idjit light tindertwig near Poogz rear end.”
Licktoad Badge Benefit: The user of this Licktoad badge gains DR 5/− against a single attack, and is hurled 5 feet away from his attacker in a direction he chooses, landing on his feet.
The user can activate this badge after he is hit, but before damage is rolled.
There is polite applause again as the older Goblins examine the smashed whelps.
"Wake the sleepy ones back up."
Sticks are used to rouse the unconscious Goblins.
"Sing songs and hurt feelz we know is sign of genus goblin - now you show how mean you be!"
To prove her wit, even in the face of extreme pain, each whelp must deliver a clever insult while chewing on a hot stone plucked from the fire pit.
A whelp must succeed at a DC 8 Fortitude saving throw to hold the hot stone in her mouth the first round. Calling out a clever insult that same round requires a successful DC 14 Intelligence check.
Whelps can try again if they fail the Intelligence check, but the DC for the Fortitude save increases by 1 each round, and a whelp can’t try again once she fails the save.
When a goblin fails this Fortitude save, she reflexively spits out the hot stone before it actually causes damage.

Mogmurch is convinced somegob covered the rock in chilli.
Pebbletop announces with no fanfare: “Poog win a Hurtful Words badge.”
Licktoad Badge Benefit: The user of this Licktoad badge can call forth a stream of blistering invectives against a single creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher within 30 feet.
This allows the user to attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize that creature with a +5 circumstance bonus on the roll. If the user’s check exceeds the target DC by 5 or more, his target is staggered for 1 round instead of shaken.
This is a mind affecting effect.
“But whelps got one last challenge!”
Pebbletop rubs her hands together with glee (and gobsnot). “To prove nimbleness of you teeth, you whelps must dig worms out of mud -- without using hands or feet!"
You are shown to the same patch of horrible dirt that Reta obtained her sludge bucket from. The other goblins smile.
Each time a whelp gulps down a mouthful of mud, he must succeed at a DC 12 Perception check to find a worm within.
Once a goblin finds a worm, he can avoid swallowing it with a successful DC 14 Reflex save.
A whelp can swallow three mouthfuls of mud before he is too full and sick to try again.
